    "content": "The Committee embarked on the process of recruitment of commissioners. After putting out an advert calling for applications, the Office of the Clerk received 395 applicants for the position. The Committee, following a rigorous short-listing criterion, shortlisted 54 applicants, of whom 34 or 63 per cent were male while 20 or 37 per cent were female. The shortlisted applicants were to be interviewed from Monday, 12th to Wednesday, 14th November 2018, both days inclusive. However, on 7th November 2018, the National Assembly, through the Directorate of Litigation and Compliance Services, was served with a constitutional petition filed at the High Court, Nairobi. In the said petition, the petitioner contended that the recruiting of persons for appointment as commissioners of the NCIC is contrary to the principle of separation of powers. The court agreed with the petitioner and suspended the recruitment process on 9th November, 2018, awaiting judgment on the matter."
